May 22, 20186 yr I don't know .. leather tan interior and Dk blue exterior is great but I don't like the shape..... If i was between a Lego set 8880 vs 42083 right now.. ill go get a 8880 instead !
May 22, 20186 yr And the hype train get derailed Not as beauty as Porsche but still a must have for me - but what should i say if i already pre ordered this one.

May 22, 20186 yr I seriously don't get how you are all able to rate this set so prematurely. We don't even know anything about the features, and one picture simply isn't enough to properly rate it as a whole.
May 22, 20186 yr Well, we have only seen the model from one angle. We don't know any of the functions, and there are roughly 900 pieces left to make some nice features and details. For example, the C in the middle of the car is also there. Looking to the back of the car there are two body pieces making a line from the roof to the side. It's in may ways improved upon the porsche, and tI have high hopes for the rest of the car.

Well, looks were a "Important detail" last time, so that is what most of us are looking at. Unless there is a new gearbox cluches and rings, I would say it is a flop to me.
May 22, 20186 yr The model looks excellent.. This is exactly what I had expected it to look like... Kudos to the designer... I expect when everyone sees the rest of it, they will change their opinion...
May 22, 20186 yr LvdH, that's pretty easy, you take a box cover art from porsche and compare with chiron's. Graphic designer in case of Porsche did better job, as it has more premium look and feel than Bugatti. The hood in Bugatti also looks kinda incomplete and raw. One week to see it for our selves.

Technic has always been a showcase for realistic functions and features. They don’t get my dollars that easy. If there is no good reason via either new parts or neat functions, this will be a pass for me, even though I will most likely end up with one used sometime after the shock and awe campaign is over.

May 22, 20186 yr I'm liking it. I like how a lot of people complain about the gaps because of the type of pieces used. Are they the same people who complain when Lego use a large moulded piece to make something look more realistic? Remember this is Technic Lego. I like it and will be putting it on my wall next to the Porsche and F1 Ferrari.
May 22, 20186 yr It looks just like I expected. Not bad at all for a stock LEGO set, although I do fear the nose is too long. But I need to see a side view to judge better. If there are no further leaks, there will be enough left to be curious about for the 1st of June.

May 22, 20186 yr Just now, Jim said: Agreed! OK then "Speculation master". Spoiler Whats so wrong with not liking it? We are who we are, can't change anyone's view.

The stub nose is characteristic for the Bugatti. I am very curious to see the whole model. Underwhelmed so far, but still looking forward to building this!
May 22, 20186 yr Doing a little bit of reverse engeneering now in LDD and I have too say WOW! There are much more complex angles then it seems at first sight.

I am disappointed about this leak, would have been a great surprise to wait till the official reveal after this long secrecy. The car looks as expected so far (for me), but half of the fun is gone...

For a bunch of educated folks we all seem to not have much objectivity to how our minds work Everyone berated the Porsche for being all form and no function. Without even knowing anything about function we have everyone complaining about the form. Just gonna sit back and see the opinions run by like a train. One trailer, two trailer, three.........
May 22, 20186 yr A lot fewer gaps than expected! The car looks stellar. Definitely on my list of sets that "I'll gawk at but never buy". Very nice! EDIT: PM me for the picture if you need it. Edited May 22, 20186 yr by BrickbyBrickTechnic
